    Has anyone ever had offers on support card but not main card? The Selfridges offers from last week on my gold supply but not player 2’s card who is the main card holder. Hadn’t seen that before

    I certainly have. Appreciate the reminder – I haven’t looked at P2’s supp card for quite a while!

    Apple – iPhone 13 Pro spend £800 get £80 back. Nothing in the terms that this has to be spend on an iPhone, any ideas if it will trigger on other Apple spend (daughter 2 needs a new laptop for Uni)?

    Does the Apple one work if you do the collect at store option – are you charged online as a delivery purchase or does the store charge you on collection?

    I’ve done a collect at store before (NOT under this Amex offer) and my card was charged once the online transaction goes through. There’s no further swiping of the card when you collect. Mine was a high value item, so I was asked for ID when I collected the item. I suspect that if the charge doesn’t go through, you won’t even get the “collection is ready” email.

    If you want the item anyway, I suppose there’s no harm in trying. Worst case scenario if you don’t get the notification that the card was charged is not to physically pick up the item. Apple is strict about refunding you if the item is not picked up on the date and time you requested for pickup as Apple wants to put the item back into stock.

    Really helpful info – many thanks. I’d be tempered to just get a gift card online and then use instore but BA e store has double Avios on Apple at the moment, to add to the bonus. But from the sounds of it, Apple online will charge me rather than at the store so should be fine.

    I can confirm this to be the case too, definitely charged prior to collection. I bought last year with an offer on my Amex and it was collected by player 2, with her just showing her ID. eStore points were very well received!

    OMG! I love Din Tai Fung. Have been to branches in Taipei, Hong Kong and Sydney (4 times). It’s probably my favourite restaurant in the world. I didn’t know they’d opened in the UK until I read your post. Thank you for the info!!!

    Nice! Available and saved on all 4 of my cards, so looks like it’s open to all.

    Quick question on the Bicester Village offer (£500 get £100 back) – it seems this is only eligible if done in a single transaction which makes it more prohibative. Is there anyway to circumvent this, wasnt sure if you can do something where you purchase stuff from a few stores but pay an aggregated amount as a one off?

    Thanks

    Previously you can buy one gift card at the customer center but not all store accept them. If you search the comments someone has written more about this recently.

    How many of them are useful? 0? Amex offers (reliability of them paying out aside) really have dried up of recent months – a few hotel ones which have been reasonable, although I think most have finished now, otherwise nothing of use, just a selection of small percentages off internet startups.

    It feels like the exact opposite for me. We’ve saved £30 off £150 at Hakkassan, 2x £10 off £25 at a Marstons, £100 off £250 with Hyatt, £20 off £100 Paypal, and I’ll probably use the £100 off £350 IHG and £25 off £75 Connaught offers in the next couple of weeks. That’s nearly £300 in 3 months and putting aside the Hyatt where I’d probably have got a cheaper hotel it was normal spend.

    I have a PRG and this year have received the following credits from Offers: Paypal £20 credit (1 more still to use on supp card), Marstons £10 credit, Deliveroo twice a month £70 credit (£5*2*7 months), IHG £50 credit, ATG £5, Shop small £15 credit, Telegraph £20 credit. Plan to use the £80 Apple offer next month.
    So in total: £190 received so far, and plan to get another £100 next month.

    It is cyclical for me, sometimes there is something to get excited about, other times not. I was feeling similar to Andrew J before the paypal offer. Small start ups can combine well with intro offers if you use them already.
